Lyddie plot
Lyddie is a poor farm girl whose father has been away from home for three years. She was abandoned by her mother who thought she could take care of herself. Local residents have taken over the family farm and Lyddie now works for them. However, she is not treated much better than a slave and decides to work in a factory in a nearby village. However, the working conditions there are still not ideal. The work she has to do is dangerous. But at least she now has her desired freedom and even gets the chance to befriend one of her colleagues.
